DocM Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) ISS resupply mission Launch: delayed to May 3, 2019 Time: 0312 EDT (0712 UTC) Pad: SLC-40 Landing: ASDS Vehicle: last use CRS-12 May have to do with recently installed battery packs. Or not. https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2019/04/30/dragon-cargo-mission-launch-no-earlier-than-may-3/ Quote Dragon Cargo Mission Launch No Earlier than May 3 NASA has requested SpaceX move off from May 1 for the launch of the company’s 17th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station. On April 29, the space station team identified an issue with one of the station’s Main Bus Switching Units that distributes power to two of the eight power channels on the station. There are no immediate concerns for the crew or the station. Teams are working on a plan to robotically replace the failed unit and restore full power to the station system. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. The earliest possible launch opportunity is no earlier than Friday, May 3. > Unobscured Vision 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 This stuff happens. /shrug The previous delay was due to a logistics issue on the ISS + NASA side, iirc. That happens too. No fault of SpaceX's in either case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobscured Vision Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I just watched the replay. Pesky issues resurface once again ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) This wasn't the rocket's internal helium system but the quick disconnect fitting, half of which is on the transporter-erector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 That was a beautiful launch, especially the IR shot of the first stage coming down to the droneship. The droneship being just a few miles offshore this time there should be some neat YouTube videos posted over the weekend. bguy_1986 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
